These remaining prints from my inventory will be on sale at special prices for two weeks until December 14th, when they will ship out to arrive before the holidays (*guaranteed only in the US). Up for grabs: Mario World piece for Gallery 1988, Trash Humpers & Man With a Movie Camera prints for the Belcourt, Jeff the Brotherhood Soundland print, Sebastian Speaks gig poster and Owl Spirit art print, all 18x24".

All orders placed in these two weeks will receive one of these bonus mini-prints in their tube, pictured below. These will be randomly inserted, but if you have a special request I can try to assign first-come-first-serve. Please note these are extra mini-print proofs from my Belcourt show, some of which have slight imperfections which is why I'm giving what's left away. Mini-prints may include Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, My Neighbor Totoro, Never Let Me Go, Carlos and one of two Nashville Film Festival poster designs.

Head to my shop if you'd like to place an order. Thanks for your support in 2011 and happy holidays!

After a run at Gallery 1988's Old-School Video Game Show, my "Mario World" screenprints are now available here in my shop at a special price. These 18x24" four-color screenprints were beautifully printed by my friends at Burlesque of North America and could make a great gift for the Super Mario fan in your family, young or old!

WORLD ON A WIRE, Rainer Werner Fassbinder's two-part sci-fi film made for German television in 1973, will make its way to your HD television in 2012 courtesy of The Criterion Collection. Here's the cover I prepared based on my theatrical poster design, with package and menu designs to follow...

Help Tristen release her “Decks the Halls” Christmas 7” by contributing to this kickstarter campaign. I played some drums and am working on the single and poster design, which I'll post soon. Pledge a little for the single, or more for additional gift goodies, like Tristen’s handmade journals and scarves. A great early present for anyone wanting to support local artists this holiday season.

Kaneto Shindo's masterful erotic ghost-story KURONEKO (Black Cat) is out today on Criterion DVD and Blu-ray. A must-see for lovers of Japanese cinema and the fantastic, it has become a personal favorite of mine through my work with Janus Films and Criterion on the film's new theatrical release and DVD package. I wrote previously about the process behind designing the poster; For the DVD/BD cover Criterion wanted to not stray too far from that, and after noticing the almost -disappearing quality of certain metallic inks when working on THE MUSIC ROOM, Eric Skillman put together this composition in which the ghost mother character would hover alone in the woods, then vanish when looked at from another angle. I loved the concept and was excited to take advantage of the print medium by doing something interesting and different like this. Here are a couple of shots of the cover--although the effect is hard to capture with a camera-- followed by some images of my booklet layout and menu designs. I couldn't be a bigger fan of this beautiful film, and I'm excited for others to discover it. Thanks to Eric Skillman, Sarah Habibi, and the Janus and Criterion staff for a job well done.

Here's a new theatrical poster I made for Kino for CHARLOTTE RAMPLING: THE LOOK. Subtitled as "a self-portrait through others," it's a lovely kind of documentary -portrait with Rampling, one of the finest and most beautiful English actresses, talking with other artists and friends about creativity, art, performance, film, and life. Read more about the film in this Guardian piece and check playdates here.

I was recently asked to come up with some album artwork for Souvenir Driver, the band/alias of my good friend Nate Wey. I'm always excited to work on projects with Nate, who you may remember from a previous blog post on his great photography. Learn more and get the JOY LP here.

Tomorrow we're printing this poster for one of my favorite bands, JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD, live at Soundland at the Neuhoff Factory in Nashville. Come by the Neuhoff Factory for a day of great bands (Tristen is also on the bill) and to check out some posters. A few poster artists including myself will be set up there and I'll have a few things for sale. If there are any extras of these leftover I'll put them up in my shop. Later Saturday night, I'll be performing Nirvana's Nevermind with My So-Called Band for the official afterparty at Mercy Lounge. Should be a fun day!

UPDATE: Not everyone made their way into the poster room yesterday (or even know it was there?) and we ended up with a few extra prints that you can get here through my store. Limited signed & numbered edition of 50, 2-color 18x24" screenprints hand-pulled by Drew and Bingham of Grand Palace live at the show. It was awesome designing this poster for one of my very favorite bands. Get em while they last.Here are a few shots from yesterday...
